It sounds to me like you have a bad E.G.R. valve... the E.G.R valve is right on the top of the engine. should be pretty easy to get to. if not, it could be you mass air sensor. It would definately be one of the 2... Try the E.G.R valve first though. Probably gonna run you about 100 bucks for it.
The past tense is smogged.
If you sell a car in Sept. and it is smogged until DEC. of that year, are you responsible for the smogging?
It's exempt
Typically at renewal of the vehicle's registration.
vehicle was smogged last year and now notified to smog it again this year
Absolutely, the Officer doesn't know anything other than what his computer and dispatcher tells him. Clerical mistakes happen quite frequently with the BMV/DMV. Once he ascertains that you are in fact driving legally, the stop will cease. If you were driving legally, you probably received no citation.
colonel sanders worked for a filling company which is a place to get smogged. (got drunk). after that he owned KFC and had a wonderful success.
Look for a blown fuse.
In most states if your bill of sale says "sold as is" you have smogged the buyer. It's a good idea to keep a signed copy of the bill of sale also. Some buyers never put the car in their name. You may get later get parking tickets and even be sued when the buyer wrecks someone else.
The last time I had my '92 SC300 smogged at a "test only" station, it cost $60. That was last year.
I can't speak for AZ but here in CT cars 25 years old or older don't have to go through emissions testing anymore.
You don't need to have a 1948 car. But they are tax exempt, you do not need to get them smogged. They are worth a bunch of money. They are very neat. A collectors item even if they are not in that good of shape.
